未经允许，不要发函给另一个律师的客户。在发送之前，要确认收信人是否已经有代理律师了。所以，在这之前，最好问一问您的客户。佛罗里达州的律师条例之职业行为规则的第4-4.2款有这样的规定：
"在为客户进行代理活动中，如果一位律师知道当事人已经有另一位律师在为其代理，除非得到该代理律师的同意，他就不得再同该当事人交流有关代理之事项。"
Outline your thoughts in a checklist. Before turning on your computer or dictating machine, pull out a yellow pad and jot down the main points for your letter. List what you want the letter to say. Write the points in any order; write them as they come into your mind. You can rearrange them when you write the letter. Right now you're just making a checklist for writing the letter.
列出您的构思提纲。在打开电脑或录音机前，拿出一个黄色的小便笺簿略记下信函的大纲并列出您将在信函中要写此什么，记录这些要点时不要考虑什么顺序，想到什么就写什么，因为你可以在真正撰写信函时重新安排顺序，而现在，您要做的仅仅是为信函准备提纲。
Keep the legal pad close at hand. When you run out of ideas for the checklist, put the pad at the side of your desk. New ideas always spring forth when writing. Jot these down on the pad as you write the letter; they are easily forgotten.
随时将上述小便笺簿放在手边。当您不需要所构思提纲清单时，也要将小便笺簿放在桌上。因为在写作过程中随时可能涌现出新思路，要及时记下这些新的思路，稍不注意，它们就会被忘了。
Simple Stuff That Will Make You Look Dumb If It's Wrong
一些错误的小细节常常会欺骗您的眼睛
Letters begin with boring things like the date and recipient's name and address, but if any of these are missing or wrong the letter writer will look pretty careless, to say the least. So be careful when starting the letter, and you can even include some extra things that will make the letter even better than the regular letters the recipient receives.
信函的页首常常要注明时间、收信人姓名、住址等繁琐事项。如果这些事项有错误或是被疏漏，说得严重一点，会让人觉得书写者有些粗心大意。所以，从一开始起草信函时就要小心谨慎，注意那些特别事项，让收信人觉得律师
